She had neither, leading her to be scrutinised physically at times.Sonali Bendre opens up about being body-shamed in the 90sIn the interview, Sonali Bendre shared that actresses weren't very skinny back in the 90s. She said, 'When I came in the industry, heroines didn't use to be this skinny. Every producer was trying to fatten me up all the time. They would just tell me to 'eat, eat, eat bahut patli hai (she is too thin).' They wanted curves. At that time, they wanted women who were curvaceous and voluptuous and who had curls in their hair. And I had straight black hair, and I was skinny.'Sonali continued that despite Bollywood's unrealistic beauty standards, she persevered to showcase true acting talent.

Yeah, I genuinely feel that it never felt like I was on top of my game. When I got into the industry, I was not trained as an actor. I was not trained as a dancer. I was just fumbling and learning on the job. That kept me nervous, and I never really enjoyed the journey. When you're on top of the game and you're enjoying the journey, you're enjoying what you're doing on a day-to-day basis. I was too scared.'Also Read: Madhuri Dixit To Shraddha Kapoor, Marathi Mulgi Who Are Queens Of BollywoodSonali Bendre on the work frontCurrently, Sonali is busy promoting her OTT show called 'Broken News'.
